Fighting to make America #TwoStarsBrighter with DC and Puerto Rico. Cover by Alena R. Heck Coleman (@NPR)

[52 States of America @52StatesOrg]

It's about to get a lot louder.

DC deserves statehood.

Puerto Rico deserves statehood.

We're ready to fight.

#DC51PR52 🇺🇸✊

[51 for 51 @51for51]

You may have noticed we’ve been a little quiet lately… but guess what? We’re still not done fighting to pass #DCStatehood by ending the filibuster.

BREAKING: @RitchieTorres, who proudly represents NY15, has been re-elected to Congress.

He is also one of the leading advocates for 3 million Americans in #PuertoRico who lack voting representation. 🇺🇸🇵🇷

#Vote

[Ritchie Torres @RitchieTorres]

I am honored to have been re-elected to a third term to the United States House of Representatives.

Thank you to the people of NY15 in the Bronx for affording me the high honor of representing them in the United States Congress.

#BREAKING: We project statehood will be the winning option in Puerto Rico's nonbinding status plebiscite.

[Ricardo Rosselló @ricardorossello]

“Democracy is an unfinished project” …
“We have millions of disenfranchised people in America, starting with 3.5 million US citizens in Puerto Rico, who should be a state by now”

Thank you @RepRaskin for your insightful perspective. #PRStatehood

[Rep. Cory Mills 🇺🇸 @RepMillsPress]

I am honored to support the Puerto Rico Status Act as the 100th co-sponsor of HR 2757, which upholds the right of U.S. citizens in Puerto Rico to participate in a self-determination process. This legislation is a significant step forward, authorizing a federally sponsored plebiscite that gives Puerto Ricans the choice between independence, sovereignty in free association with the United States, or statehood.

I am committed to this bill and look forward to supporting the choice of the Puerto Rican people. There has been a strong historic bond between Puerto Rico and the United States. The bottom line is that Puerto Ricans serve in the U.S. military, they deserve at least the option of statehood.

If a majority of Americans support #Statehood4PuertoRico and a majority of voters on the island continue to show they support it as well, then let’s make it happen! Listen up Congress! https://t.co/BvSckJZvzp

[Jesús Pérez @jesusoperez]

A Puerto Rican is leading @NASA's mission to the moon in 2026, and Puerto Ricans have served in the US Armed Forces in every conflict since WWI.

Don't tell me #PuertoRicans are garbage.

They're heroes. 🇵🇷🇺🇸

Opponents of statehood dismiss plebiscite results due to low voter turnout. It’s those who vote in a democracy who get a say, however, rather than those who don’t. Tell your legislators to stand behind the democratic process and cosponsor #HR2757!#PR51st #ChampionforStatehood

Congress can and must take action to right a historic wrong of American colonialism. Now it has a bill to do so. If it passes, it will help make America “a more perfect union.” @LawsPR51 @PRStatehoodNet

[PR51st #Statehood4PR🇺🇸🇵🇷 @PuertoRico51st]

Puerto Rico deserves statehood now https://t.co/Dql48FPE5F

Great to see our Exec Dir @LawsPR51 quoted in @thehill “The most significant sign that the Senate is going to pay attention to this is going to be if we can get a hearing in the Energy & Natural Resources Committee either at the full committee level or at the subcommittee level.”

Supporters try to rekindle Puerto Rico status change https://t.co/5g09p31Gjo

[Martin Heinrich @SenatorHeinrich]

Puerto Ricans are American citizens. They deserve the right to decide their own future.

The Puerto Rico Status Act delivers that – offering an overdue, permanent, and democratic process to determine Puerto Rico’s political status.

[52 States of America @52StatesOrg]

Congress has forgotten 3.3 million American citizens in #PuertoRico.

That’s the equivalent of New Mexico, Wyoming, and Vermont combined.

Their voices matter.

Youth will grow up in #PuertoRico, advocate for causes, and turn the voting age — but somehow will never cast a vote for President.

We’ve been denied the basic right to express our voices for over a century.

Let’s fix that. 🇵🇷✊

The covenant we have with the American people is sacred, and ensuring the public we work for them and not other interests is paramount. Senator Menendez should step aside and resign.

[VIDEO] In 2020, 52% voted “Yes” in support of #Statehood4PuertoRico despite #ElectionDenial & #VoterSuppression by the opposition. Check out the final video of our 3-part series on the fight for full democracy & equality through #Statehood4PuertoRico.

🇨🇳 With China’s presence increasing in the Caribbean, it's crucial that America has a strong foothold in the region.

🇺🇸 #PuertoRico’s strategic location makes it a critical hub for trade and defense.

➡️ Will @RepWesterman protect our national interests & pass the #PRStatusAct?

[PR51st #Statehood4PR🇺🇸🇵🇷 @PuertoRico51st]

Puerto Rico has been suffering more harshly than the rest of the 50 states due to their status as a territory. Looking at certain economic markers, we see how the economy of Puerto Rico is consistently lagging behind the rest of the United States. https://t.co/Sk1VLPj46W
